The year goes by faster every time. DailyLapse captures one second of it, every day, so nothing gets lost. Tap once. Record one second. In a year, you have a movie. That is the whole idea — and it works because it asks almost nothing of you. One second is easy enough to do every single day. At the end of the year, the app stitches all 365 clips into a single MP4 with date overlays, ready to watch in under two minutes. The kind of two minutes that makes your chest hurt in the best way. WHAT DAILYLAPSE DOES - One-tap capture: tap the record button and the app records exactly one second, then stops. No timer-watching, no editing. - Year-end stitch: tap Render Year and every clip becomes a single movie with the date burned into each second. Export directly to your Photos library. - Calendar view: a full month grid with thumbnails of every day you recorded. Blank days sit quietly — no guilt streaks, no gamification. - Replace any day: recorded something better? Swap the clip. The app keeps only the one you choose. - Lock Screen widgets: small and medium widgets show your running day count and whether you recorded today — the only nudge you need. - Daily reminder: one optional notification at your chosen time, nothing more. - Complete privacy: camera stays on-device, clips live in local storage, nothing leaves your phone. No account. No analytics SDKs. No cloud sync. PERFECT FOR People who want to look back at a year and actually see it — parents, travelers, anyone in a season of life they know will matter later. Also for the person who tried a journaling app and gave up after three days. One second is not a journal. It is a reflex. PRICING $4.99 once. Every feature — capture, stitch, widgets, reminders — included in the purchase price. No ads. Pay once, keep forever. This is how apps used to be sold, and it is how this one is sold. DailyLapse is a paid-once iPhone app that records one second of video every day and stitches them into a year-long movie — all on your device, all yours. Download it before today becomes yesterday. — Subscription & Terms — DailyLapse Premium is an auto-renewing monthly subscription ($2.99/month, after a 7-day free trial) or a one-time Lifetime purchase ($19.99).
